This is an essential step you should take in ensuring you are drawing people to your site. You ought to have engaging, worthy and truthful content so that more people can visit your site and consequently increase your SEO ranking.

2. Be consistent.

Ensure you post new fresh material regularly because new articles or blogs tend to rank higher in the search engines. Error free work plus a well-organized site will keep people coming back.

3. Use of the social media

Currently, more people worldwide are using social media to share their stories. Add social media buttons such as a Twitter, Facebook, email or Pinterest button to your blog or site so that people can share your blog or website in the social media circles.

4. Use of keywords.

As you come up with original content to use on your site, think of particular keywords that you can use in your articles, key phrases that are common in Google. The chosen keywords should, of course, be related to the content that you have come up with. Use the key phrases just a few times because when you overuse them, you may get punished resulting in lower rankings.

Have the most important points such as section headers in bold. Use meta tags and descriptions that have some of the key phrases you chose to improve your SEO rank. The title tag is the most vital SEO tag of any blog or website, so ensure you add some key phrases to it.

7. Audit your site to determine any issues.
